Meaning & Origin
A female given name from the Germanic languages, an Old French form of Alice.
Alix is a girl's and boy's baby name of Germanic origin (also used as a boy's name), an Old French form of Alice, from the Old High German Adalheidis, meaning 'noble kind' or 'of noble lineage.'
Alix was the preferred spelling in medieval France and among European royalty — several queens and noblewomen of the 12th and 13th centuries bore this form. Today it reads as a sophisticated, slightly unexpected alternative to Alice or Alex — equally at home in a French conversation or an English one, carrying its medieval heritage with understated elegance.
